is if you make that the path of least resistance for them.

We work hard at X to make it safe to fail.

Teams kill their ideas as soon as the evidence is on the table

because they're rewarded for it.

They get applause from their peers.

Hugs and high fives from their manager, me in particular.

They get promoted for it.

We have bonused every single person on teams that ended their projects,

from teams as small as two to teams of more than 30.

We believe in dreams at the moonshot factory.

But enthusiastic skepticism

is not the enemy of boundless optimism.

It unlocks the potential in every idea.

We can create the future that's in our dreams.

Thank you very much.

(Applause)
